Also, just how good in Revere in CF? He picked up most of his defensive value playing RF, not CF. His arm is horrific and while he is extremely fast, his arm will hurt his defense.

Revere has a -4 DRS in CF in 1123 innings and 9.2 UZR/150, not elite by any means and pair that with his bat, and you have a pretty average player. Definitely wouldn't trade one of my better prospects and rotation starters for that. I'd much rather go get Bourjos who is a proven elite defensive CF.

Stop embarassing yourself. When you have an opportunity to add 7 WAR with 2 players through trading fringe players and prospects, when your 2nd best everyday player is a 2 WAR player, you do it.

No one is embarrassing themselves but you. Span and Revere are solid average players that make sense for teams that will be competitive. We need players that will make an impact. They made absolutely no impact on the Twins.

I would have gotten Span because he is a better CF, knows how to get on base, and has a little bit more power. I don't like Revere, and I don't think he is that great of a CF based on stats and his noodle arm.

Let's see Ike put together a whole season before we declare him a clear #2. He's clearly slump prone and gets frustrated easily. Could easily keep him from entering that next tier of MLB first baseman.

Yeah and Ike had a horrible first two months of the season that I doubt he duplicates ever again.

The idea that Revere is a better player than Ike is laughable. Seriously, we will be laughing at this comparison one day...quite possibly in the near future.

Ike finished with only a .305 OBP last year. That won't happen again. I'll bet you my house that he finishes with an OBP somewhere around .350 if not higher next year.

Second half of the season Ike had an OPS of nearly .900.

Ike >>>>>>>>>>> Revere

this is the problem when people only use advanced metrics--they have their uses but if it were that easy we would be contenders already calm down this guy would be the best we have but thats not saying much on most teams he doesnt sniff the field

Revere or Span could be quite a bit of help on a contending team in need of a leadoff hitter not just a mediocre team like the Mets.
